I like the last bottom right picture on their page.

Quake4 sounds good but hows about some Quake Wars news also?

There are ways to 'cheat'  and drain your own abilities and then train for the skill for a couple gold but thats playing pretty cheap. No pun intended.

My Gamestop is still doing 2nd shipments. I would go check your closest. Not that I care to support the company but if you are desperate.

I agree with this. I know that it was basically a test map but that one is pretty bad.

DUN ..Dun ...dun! I had to look for the release of this tonight at work and now the Gamestop date looks like 01/02/06...

Didn't they say that there was Martial Law instated there? It's not really suprising. I'm more suprised it took this long with the people shooting at troops.

So how is Lockdown? (Erm, I mean the game...)

What about Far Cry: Instincts? That looks interesting from some of the videos I've seen.

Did anyone ever pick one of these up?

...  I hope they have a Crimson Skies surprise for us.

God's I hope so!

I read that major retailers will be releasing a pack with Metroid: Hunters & system whenever that comes out. Read it somewhere within the last couple days so it should be around the net.

IF that's the one where you have to assault thier base in the corner, yeah that can be a bit hard. Took me a handful of tries to do it satisfactorily.

Definately try to catch the series from the beginning though. There is a lot of in-jokes and self-referencing that wouldn't be as evident or amusing otherwise. Great show.

I gave up on halo 2 about 60% of the way through.  when I got to the library type of repeating level I quite.  Sickened me.  And online play never interested me cuz of all the kids being @ssholes.  So, I am not looking forward to this one at all.  That being said if reviews are superb I will rent and see.  If I am shockingly surprised by it, I will pick it up probably.  I would like it to be good.  I loooovvveeeedddd the first.

So you liked the longer version of the Library in Halo 1 but not the shorter one of 2?

Now that's one that I would buy. Nice, clean, slick and yet still retro.

I was just looking through that forum and it sounds like there is a ton of people still working on the game doing improvements beyond bugfixing.

Anyone that doesn't have this game can get it for $10 pretty much anywhere now. Jewel case only at BB and boxed ones are at Gamestop (at least mine) for the same.

There are usually bins but they would be pretty picked over by now. There may be others on the list that weren't in them so it's still worth a look.

I picked up a Baten Kaitos (GC) and Project Snowblind (XB) but haven't had time to check either out yet.

I wonder how they handled the targeting for the PC. The Xbox can be somewhat irritating at times.

My Software Etc here in GR had 'Armies of Exigo' for like $20 after clearance. Check the websites.

'What is "There is probably children in that house and the room was actually clean for a change.", Alex?'

Oh yeah and the other stuff mentioned. Just who would disgrace an AT-AT like that?

Then they'll be seeing the upcoming DS stuff and want another one.

Where is it $30 already?

Hey! I'm just throwing out the deals as I see'em.
 

Demon Stone or X-Men Legends? Not sure if X-Men has the AI coop though. Pretty sure it does.

NewEgg has a deal on an OEM PNY 6800.

Linkage

Cool. The Dragon Warriors for GBC are pretty decent if she wants to spend some time and doesn't mind the old school graphics.

Guess I don't see it. And yeah Subarus can be a bitch to work on at times. Although it looks as though the guy underneath is messing with the tranny or the exhaust (which is usually made of tin foil on those cars).

Don't see any message in the grass either... No caffeine this morning or at least not enough yet.

What's up with this picture? What makes it special?

[Fable]

If I posted my backlog, it would blow out the forum database  

Yes. However a truncated version for the immediate future is:

Fable - Currently working on.
Sword of Mana - Working on.

Far Cry - Just picked it up for my Bday.
Metroid Prime 1 - Never could get past those damn mines...
IceWind Dale - Never got too far.
Beyond Good & Evil - Never played yet.
MechAssault - Never finished the last couple missions.
MechAssault 2 - Never played much.

They live! Oh yeah, and he will need to get a haircut before his jail time unless he is really interested in being someones bitch...

I guess that this will be requiring a vid card of greater than a GeForce 4. I wonder how many people will be complaining when it doesn't work.

It may just have went bad. I work at a Gamestop/Software Etc here in GR and only a couple times have I seen one do it. Once the cart was just seemingly dead and the other it seemed to play fine but the sound was kaput. Gotta hand it to Nintendo for thier generally long lasting hardware though.

LOL it's on TNT right now.

They are making a Jagged Alliance game for the DS?

There is also a new 2D Metroid in the works apparently name 'Metroid: Dread' or something similar.

[Wellington, New Zealand]

Wellington, New Zealand. Went to see Star Wars yesterday and Peter Jackson was sitting in the row in front of me.

That's pretty sweet.

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home"

Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free

Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years ah
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been

But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free

Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here

Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back

Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak

This is only a good thing if they can get the same writers that gave us stuff like 'Jurassic Bark'.

Re: Captain Antilles and the ship from Episode 4.

I can't believe anyone would have an issue with that ship still being around at the time of the OT.  In today's modern Navy much of our fleet is 20 years older or more.  Why is it implausible to assume that would be different in the Star Wars universe?

Really. The Falcon had been around for a long time before Han even owned it.

[any]

I know that they were just doing the new ATI levels, any kind of word at all about TF2??? They keep saying something new in the spring and its getting to be past that.
